1 Introduction

Vibration is a momentous fault source of rotating machinerylike an aeroengine and seriously impacts on the securityand reliability of machine system operation [1] With thedevelopment of the high performance and high reliability ofrotating machinery vibration fault needs to be predicted andinhibited early [1ndash3] Therefore how to predict and controlrotor vibration faults is one of hot issues in preventing thefailures of mechanical system which leads to the advance offeasible and effective fault diagnosismethods [3ndash8] Howevermost of present vibration analysis techniques need a massof vibration samples to establish a fault diagnosis model todiagnose the vibration faults from a qualitative perspectiveIn fact these fault analysis methods possess some blind-ness in fault diagnosis which seriously influences diagnosisaccuracy due to being short of describing diagnosis resultsfrom a process and quantitative perspective Meanwhile itis always difficult to gain large number of vibration fault

risk minimization instead of empirical risk minimization tosolve small-sample nonlinear high-dimensional problemsand so on SVMhas been proved to embody various strengthsof complete theory good adaptability global optimizationshort training time and good generalization ability in faultdiagnosis [3 8 14ndash18]

The purpose of this present study attempts to proposean effective approach which is Process Power SpectrumEntropy-SVM (PPSE-SVM) method for rotor vibration faultdiagnosis based on PPSE method and SVM theory Thismethod is promising to resolve the randomization of vibra-tion fault and the difficulty of extracting vibration faultsamples Based on rotor vibration simulation workbenchfour typical faults are simulated and their vibration dataare gained The PPSE values (ie information features) ofthese data are calculated based on PPSE method to constructeigenvectors as fault diagnosis samples SVM fault diagnosismodel was established based on the fault diagnosis samplesThe feasibility and validity of PPSE-SVMmethod are verifiedby diagnosing rotor vibration fault types failure severity faultpoint and noise immunity

2 Process Power Spectrum Entropy Method

Information entropy was first propounded by Shannon toevaluate information capacity [3 6ndash12] Assuming thatM is aLebesgue space with an algebra 120575 generated by a measurableset 119867 and a measure 120583 (120583(M) = 1) and the space Mmay be decomposed as a limited partitioning A = (119860

119894)

which is an incompatible set satisfying M = ⋃119899

119894=1119860119894and

119860119894⋂119860119895= 0 forall119894 = 119895 based on information entropy theory the

information entropy E(A) of A is denoted as [3]

119864 (A) = minus119899

sum

119894=1

120583 (119860119894) log120583 (119860

119894) (1)

where 120583(119860119894) is the measurement of sample 119860

119894 119894 = 1 2 119899

As shown in (1) information entropy 119864 shows actuallythe chaotic degree of uncertain factors in a system Moredisorder and randomness of the system always lead to that thecorresponding information entropy values become greaterand vice versa [7]

The Power Spectrum Entropy (PSE) values of rotor vibra-tion signal can be extracted from the features of vibrationsignals in frequency domain from an energy perspectivewhen 119883(120596) is the discrete Fourier transform of a single-channel signal 119909

119905 as follows

119883 (120596) =1

sum

119905=1

119909119905119890minus119895120596119905

(2)

Thus the power spectrum of119883(120596) is defined by

119878 (120596) =1

2120587119873|119883 (120596)|

due to the energy conserve law in the signal transformationprocess from the time domain to the frequency domain [11]that is

sum1199092(119905) Δ119905 = sum |119883 (120596)|

2Δ120596 (4)

Equation (4) reveals that the total energy of signal equalsthe sum of the subenergy of each frequency componentTherefore the power entropy 119878 = 119878

1 1198782 119878

119873 of every

natural frequency is regarded as one original signal partitionthe corresponding information entropy (also called as PPSE)can be defined by

119864119891= minus

119873

sum

119894=1

119902119894log 119902119894 (5)

where the subscript 119891 stands for the frequency domain 119902119894is

the ratio of the 119894th power spectrum to the whole spectrumwhich is denoted by

119902119894=

119878119894

sum119873

119894=1119878119894

(6)

Equation (5) is called the Power Spectrum Entropy (PSE) ofsignal 119878 When PSE is applied to fault diagnosis the methodis called PSE method PSE explains the spectrum structureof single-channel vibration signal The more uniformity thevibration energy distributes in the whole frequency compo-sition the more complex the signal is and the greater theuncertainty degree is When the process of rotor speed-up(or -down) is constituted from multiple rotation speeds thePSE values of different rotation speeds describe the vibrationcondition of whole speed-up (or -down) process Hence PSEmethod is called also Process PSE (PPSE) method

Due to the lack of quantitative indexes for informa-tion entropy information entropy values cannot be directlyapplied to diagnose rotor fault The PPSE presenting theconditions of rotor vibration is promising to be used todistinguish rotor faults However the different momentsand measuring points of vibration waveform always resultin that PPSE values have a certain distribution range foreach fault and there is invariably some overlap amongthe PPSE distribution ranges of different faults [7ndash9] Forexample the PPSE values of four typical faults from multiplesimulation experiments are listed and shown in Table 1Theirdistribution ranges have large overlap regions When thePPSE value of an unknown fault is 50 it is difficult to judge towhich class the unknown fault belongs Therefore a perfectand effective identification method needs to be proposedto address this issue SVM method is an intelligent patterrecognition method and is promising to address this overlapproblem of the PPSE values of different fault modes

According to the optimization theory the objective func-tion has a unique global optimal solution because objectivefunction and constraint conditions are convex functions Forlinear programming problem with Lagrange algorithm and119910119894[(119908 sdot 119909

The algorithm thought of optimal hyperplane in SVM isthat the input vector x is mapped into a high-dimensionalfeature space Z by preselected nonlinear mapping to con-struct optimal classification hyperplane in high-dimensionalfeature space Z The output results of SVM classificationfunction are a linear combination of intermediate nodes eachcorresponding to one support vector as shown in Figure 1

32 SVM Multiclass Classification Method Rotor vibrationfault diagnosis is a multiclass signal process problem inpractice and requires establishing a multiclass SVM classifierThe construction methods of multiclass classifier containone-against-all (1-a-a) method one-to-one (1-a-1) methodDirected a-Cyclic Graph SVM (DAGSVM) method globaloptimization classification method and so forth [13 14 18]In this paper the 1-a-a method was used to design SVMmulticlassifier A set of training samples is assumed as

119879 = (119909119894 119910119894) (119909

119897 119910119897) isin (119883 times 119884)

119897 (11)

where 119909119894isin 119883 isin R119899 and 119910

119894isin 119884 = (1 119872) 119894 = 1 2 119897

A discrimination function119891(119909) is searched inR119899 to makeeach input value 119909 have one corresponding output value 119910 Infact the essence of multiclass classification is how to find outone reasonable rule to divide all points inR119899 into119872 portionsThe SVM analytical procedure of multiclass classificationproblem based on the 1-a-1 method is drawn as follows

(1) Take the 119895th class as the positive class and the rest119872minus 1 classes as the negative class according to SVMtheory the decision functions of the 119895th class aredetermined by

119891119895(119909) = sgn (119892119895 (119909)) (12)

where 119892119895(119909) = sum119897119894=1119910119894119886119895

119894119870(119909 119909

119895) + 119887119895 119895 = 1 119872

(2) Judge the input 119909 belonging to the 119895th class where 119895is the maximum label in 1198921(119909) 119892119872(119909)

In light of the above steps a multiclass classifier ofsamples based on SVM can be built until the surplus trainingsamples are correctly classified

42 Simulation Experiment

421 Test Rig To obtain fault data rotor test rig as shownin Figure 2 is used to simulate four typical faults The rotorsimulation system includes test bench and measurementsystem On the test bench double rotor is opted and linkedby a flexible coupling Each rotor has one disk with equallydistributed holes Four acceleration sensors are installed onthe locations A B C and D of pedestal as shown in Figure 2One speed sensor is applied to measure rotor speed Thedouble rotor is driven by a motor On point D there isa bolt to simulate the rub-impact fault of rotor The mea-surement system consists of signal acquisition instrumentsignal amplifier speed controller velocity indicator andcomputer Signal acquisition instrument is used to collectthe vibration signals of acceleration and speed sensors Inaddition due to the poor quality of sensor and measuringinstrument as well as the influence of imbalance inher-ently resonance and other signals maybe existent in rotorvibration signals hained from rotor experiment Howeverthe condition hardly influence the analytical results in thispaper because the propose method (PPSE-SVM method)is to be more effective in pure fault diagnosis of rotorvibration if the method holds acceptable diagnostic precisionin the coupling fault diagnosis of rotor vibration meanwhilethe case seems to more reasonably simulate the real rotorsystem

422 Experimental Process To study the process charac-teristics of rotor vibration four kinds of typical faults(rotor imbalance shaftmisalignment pedestal looseness andrubbing) are simulated from 0 rpm to 3000 rpm on rotorvibration simulation test bench Each fault is simulated bymultiple accelerated experiments and fault data is extractedby the interval of 100 rpm sampling speed In measurementsystem four sensors (four vibration signal channels) are fixedon rotor test rig tomeasure four-point vibration accelerationsand these signals are gathered as original data of rotorvibration fault diagnosis In this process mass block is addedin the holes of disk to simulate rotor imbalance fault the shaftaxes of two rotors (S1 and S2) are not located on the sameline to simulate the shaft misalignment of rotor system Thelooseness of one (B1) or two bolts (B1 and B2) on pedestal isused to simulate the pedestal looseness fault of rotor systemThe condition of bolt contacted rotor shaft is regarded toimitate rotor rubbing fault

423 Original Data By the simulation experiment a massof original vibration signals for each typical fault is gathered

when rotor speed is from 0 to 3000 rpm with 100 rpmsampling interval One group of vibration signals has 30groups of vibration waveform under one measuring pointand different speeds Therefore in one process of speed-upor speed-down experiment 120 groups of vibration signalwaveforms for each failure modes may be collected whichreflect the process characteristics of rotor vibration faults Forpoint B three-dimensional (3-D) frequency spectrographs ofnormal state and four faults are shown in Figures 3 4 5 6and 7

43 Data Analysis From Figures 3sim7 the main feature ofrotor fault distributes in the rotate speed range (1000 rpm3000 rpm) with 100 rpm sampling interval We select thespeed band to study the proposed method (PPSE-SVMmethod) One group of vibration signals has 21 groups ofvibration waveform under one measuring point and differentspeeds Therefore in one process of speed-up or speed-down experiment 84 groups of vibration signal waveformsfor each failure modes may be collected which reflect theprocess characteristics of rotor vibration faults The speed-up (or -down) process of rotor is constituted of a numberof states Vibration shapes are different under disparaterotational speeds In fact the vibration waveforms recordthe full information of rotor vibration states under differentspeeds and time The vibration fault feature possesses somedispersiveness and randomness at each point however thevibration fault feature in rotor vibration process is regularInformation entropy matrix integrates information entropyvalues under multispeed and multichannel which reflectsthe process regularity of vibration signals Therefore theinformation entropy matrix may be employed to describethe process regularity of rotor vibration signal The originaldata which reflects the process characteristics of each faultcan be gained on rotor vibration simulation experimentAccording to PPSE method the PPSE values of vibrationwaveform signals may be calculated For one vibration faultPPSE values which fully describe the process features ofthis vibration fault under multichannel and multispeed arepromising to be obtained for constructing one PPSE matrixwhich is regarded as the fault diagnosis samples of SVMmodel

51 Establish PPSE-SVMModel Thebasic idea of rotor vibra-tion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method is drawnas follows (1) gather the rotor vibration data of four typicalfaults based on rotor vibration fault simulation experiment(2) extract the vibration data characteristics (PPSE values) offour faults based on PPSE method as the training and testingsamples of SVM fault diagnosis model (3) establish SVMfault diagnosismodel by the training samples and accomplishthe rotor vibration fault diagnosis by distinguishing fault cat-egory discriminating failure severity judging fault locationand validating the robustness of PPSE-SVM method Theabove process is named fusion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method The detailed analytical procedure is shown inFigure 8

52 PPSE Feature Extraction and Parameter Selection ThePPSE values of vibration fault which reflect the process ofspeed-up or speed-down are gained based on PPSE methodandMatlab simulation software From four measuring pointsin the rotor simulation experiments four groups of PPSEsare integrated to present the variation of rotor vibrationcondition in speed-up process Each group of PPSE values ofeach channel is made up of twenty-one information entropyvalues which reflect the process variation of vibration signalat the corresponding measuring point during speed-up AllPPSE values of each vibration fault may constitute one PPSEmatrix (or PSE matrix) which is indicated by using PPSEvalues rotate speed and measuring point (channel) ThePPSE matrixes of four vibration faults are shown in Figures9 10 11 and 12

Obviously the PPSE values of each measuring pointconsist of sequential 21 entropy values Hence the 21 PPSE

The purpose of this present study attempts to proposean effective approach which is Process Power SpectrumEntropy-SVM (PPSE-SVM) method for rotor vibration faultdiagnosis based on PPSE method and SVM theory Thismethod is promising to resolve the randomization of vibra-tion fault and the difficulty of extracting vibration faultsamples Based on rotor vibration simulation workbenchfour typical faults are simulated and their vibration dataare gained The PPSE values (ie information features) ofthese data are calculated based on PPSE method to constructeigenvectors as fault diagnosis samples SVM fault diagnosismodel was established based on the fault diagnosis samplesThe feasibility and validity of PPSE-SVMmethod are verifiedby diagnosing rotor vibration fault types failure severity faultpoint and noise immunity

2 Process Power Spectrum Entropy Method

Information entropy was first propounded by Shannon toevaluate information capacity [3 6ndash12] Assuming thatM is aLebesgue space with an algebra 120575 generated by a measurableset 119867 and a measure 120583 (120583(M) = 1) and the space Mmay be decomposed as a limited partitioning A = (119860

119894)

which is an incompatible set satisfying M = ⋃119899

119894=1119860119894and

119860119894⋂119860119895= 0 forall119894 = 119895 based on information entropy theory the

information entropy E(A) of A is denoted as [3]

119864 (A) = minus119899

sum

119894=1

120583 (119860119894) log120583 (119860

119894) (1)

where 120583(119860119894) is the measurement of sample 119860

119894 119894 = 1 2 119899

As shown in (1) information entropy 119864 shows actuallythe chaotic degree of uncertain factors in a system Moredisorder and randomness of the system always lead to that thecorresponding information entropy values become greaterand vice versa [7]

The Power Spectrum Entropy (PSE) values of rotor vibra-tion signal can be extracted from the features of vibrationsignals in frequency domain from an energy perspectivewhen 119883(120596) is the discrete Fourier transform of a single-channel signal 119909

119905=1

(2)

Thus the power spectrum of119883(120596) is defined by

119878 (120596) =1

2120587119873|119883 (120596)|

due to the energy conserve law in the signal transformationprocess from the time domain to the frequency domain [11]that is

Equation (4) reveals that the total energy of signal equalsthe sum of the subenergy of each frequency componentTherefore the power entropy 119878 = 119878

natural frequency is regarded as one original signal partitionthe corresponding information entropy (also called as PPSE)can be defined by

where the subscript 119891 stands for the frequency domain 119902119894is

the ratio of the 119894th power spectrum to the whole spectrumwhich is denoted by

119902119894=

119878119894

sum119873

119894=1119878119894

(6)

Equation (5) is called the Power Spectrum Entropy (PSE) ofsignal 119878 When PSE is applied to fault diagnosis the methodis called PSE method PSE explains the spectrum structureof single-channel vibration signal The more uniformity thevibration energy distributes in the whole frequency compo-sition the more complex the signal is and the greater theuncertainty degree is When the process of rotor speed-up(or -down) is constituted from multiple rotation speeds thePSE values of different rotation speeds describe the vibrationcondition of whole speed-up (or -down) process Hence PSEmethod is called also Process PSE (PPSE) method

Due to the lack of quantitative indexes for informa-tion entropy information entropy values cannot be directlyapplied to diagnose rotor fault The PPSE presenting theconditions of rotor vibration is promising to be used todistinguish rotor faults However the different momentsand measuring points of vibration waveform always resultin that PPSE values have a certain distribution range foreach fault and there is invariably some overlap amongthe PPSE distribution ranges of different faults [7ndash9] Forexample the PPSE values of four typical faults from multiplesimulation experiments are listed and shown in Table 1Theirdistribution ranges have large overlap regions When thePPSE value of an unknown fault is 50 it is difficult to judge towhich class the unknown fault belongs Therefore a perfectand effective identification method needs to be proposedto address this issue SVM method is an intelligent patterrecognition method and is promising to address this overlapproblem of the PPSE values of different fault modes

3 SVM Method

According to the optimization theory the objective func-tion has a unique global optimal solution because objectivefunction and constraint conditions are convex functions Forlinear programming problem with Lagrange algorithm and119910119894[(119908 sdot 119909

The algorithm thought of optimal hyperplane in SVM isthat the input vector x is mapped into a high-dimensionalfeature space Z by preselected nonlinear mapping to con-struct optimal classification hyperplane in high-dimensionalfeature space Z The output results of SVM classificationfunction are a linear combination of intermediate nodes eachcorresponding to one support vector as shown in Figure 1

A discrimination function119891(119909) is searched inR119899 to makeeach input value 119909 have one corresponding output value 119910 Infact the essence of multiclass classification is how to find outone reasonable rule to divide all points inR119899 into119872 portionsThe SVM analytical procedure of multiclass classificationproblem based on the 1-a-1 method is drawn as follows

(1) Take the 119895th class as the positive class and the rest119872minus 1 classes as the negative class according to SVMtheory the decision functions of the 119895th class aredetermined by

andunbalanced coupling primarily Shaftmisalignment com-prises the misalignment of coupling and the misalignmentof bearings Contact rubbing constantly occurs due to thereduction of dynamic-static gap imbalance misalignmentand hot bend Pedestal looseness is often caused by bad fixingand long-term vibration In this paper we select the fourtypical faults to study the rotor vibration fault diagnosis basedon PPSE-SVMmethod

42 Simulation Experiment

421 Test Rig To obtain fault data rotor test rig as shownin Figure 2 is used to simulate four typical faults The rotorsimulation system includes test bench and measurementsystem On the test bench double rotor is opted and linkedby a flexible coupling Each rotor has one disk with equallydistributed holes Four acceleration sensors are installed onthe locations A B C and D of pedestal as shown in Figure 2One speed sensor is applied to measure rotor speed Thedouble rotor is driven by a motor On point D there isa bolt to simulate the rub-impact fault of rotor The mea-surement system consists of signal acquisition instrumentsignal amplifier speed controller velocity indicator andcomputer Signal acquisition instrument is used to collectthe vibration signals of acceleration and speed sensors Inaddition due to the poor quality of sensor and measuringinstrument as well as the influence of imbalance inher-ently resonance and other signals maybe existent in rotorvibration signals hained from rotor experiment Howeverthe condition hardly influence the analytical results in thispaper because the propose method (PPSE-SVM method)is to be more effective in pure fault diagnosis of rotorvibration if the method holds acceptable diagnostic precisionin the coupling fault diagnosis of rotor vibration meanwhilethe case seems to more reasonably simulate the real rotorsystem

422 Experimental Process To study the process charac-teristics of rotor vibration four kinds of typical faults(rotor imbalance shaftmisalignment pedestal looseness andrubbing) are simulated from 0 rpm to 3000 rpm on rotorvibration simulation test bench Each fault is simulated bymultiple accelerated experiments and fault data is extractedby the interval of 100 rpm sampling speed In measurementsystem four sensors (four vibration signal channels) are fixedon rotor test rig tomeasure four-point vibration accelerationsand these signals are gathered as original data of rotorvibration fault diagnosis In this process mass block is addedin the holes of disk to simulate rotor imbalance fault the shaftaxes of two rotors (S1 and S2) are not located on the sameline to simulate the shaft misalignment of rotor system Thelooseness of one (B1) or two bolts (B1 and B2) on pedestal isused to simulate the pedestal looseness fault of rotor systemThe condition of bolt contacted rotor shaft is regarded toimitate rotor rubbing fault

423 Original Data By the simulation experiment a massof original vibration signals for each typical fault is gathered

when rotor speed is from 0 to 3000 rpm with 100 rpmsampling interval One group of vibration signals has 30groups of vibration waveform under one measuring pointand different speeds Therefore in one process of speed-upor speed-down experiment 120 groups of vibration signalwaveforms for each failure modes may be collected whichreflect the process characteristics of rotor vibration faults Forpoint B three-dimensional (3-D) frequency spectrographs ofnormal state and four faults are shown in Figures 3 4 5 6and 7

43 Data Analysis From Figures 3sim7 the main feature ofrotor fault distributes in the rotate speed range (1000 rpm3000 rpm) with 100 rpm sampling interval We select thespeed band to study the proposed method (PPSE-SVMmethod) One group of vibration signals has 21 groups ofvibration waveform under one measuring point and differentspeeds Therefore in one process of speed-up or speed-down experiment 84 groups of vibration signal waveformsfor each failure modes may be collected which reflect theprocess characteristics of rotor vibration faults The speed-up (or -down) process of rotor is constituted of a numberof states Vibration shapes are different under disparaterotational speeds In fact the vibration waveforms recordthe full information of rotor vibration states under differentspeeds and time The vibration fault feature possesses somedispersiveness and randomness at each point however thevibration fault feature in rotor vibration process is regularInformation entropy matrix integrates information entropyvalues under multispeed and multichannel which reflectsthe process regularity of vibration signals Therefore theinformation entropy matrix may be employed to describethe process regularity of rotor vibration signal The originaldata which reflects the process characteristics of each faultcan be gained on rotor vibration simulation experimentAccording to PPSE method the PPSE values of vibrationwaveform signals may be calculated For one vibration faultPPSE values which fully describe the process features ofthis vibration fault under multichannel and multispeed arepromising to be obtained for constructing one PPSE matrixwhich is regarded as the fault diagnosis samples of SVMmodel

5 Example Analysis

51 Establish PPSE-SVMModel Thebasic idea of rotor vibra-tion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method is drawnas follows (1) gather the rotor vibration data of four typicalfaults based on rotor vibration fault simulation experiment(2) extract the vibration data characteristics (PPSE values) offour faults based on PPSE method as the training and testingsamples of SVM fault diagnosis model (3) establish SVMfault diagnosismodel by the training samples and accomplishthe rotor vibration fault diagnosis by distinguishing fault cat-egory discriminating failure severity judging fault locationand validating the robustness of PPSE-SVM method Theabove process is named fusion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method The detailed analytical procedure is shown inFigure 8

52 PPSE Feature Extraction and Parameter Selection ThePPSE values of vibration fault which reflect the process ofspeed-up or speed-down are gained based on PPSE methodandMatlab simulation software From four measuring pointsin the rotor simulation experiments four groups of PPSEsare integrated to present the variation of rotor vibrationcondition in speed-up process Each group of PPSE values ofeach channel is made up of twenty-one information entropyvalues which reflect the process variation of vibration signalat the corresponding measuring point during speed-up AllPPSE values of each vibration fault may constitute one PPSEmatrix (or PSE matrix) which is indicated by using PPSEvalues rotate speed and measuring point (channel) ThePPSE matrixes of four vibration faults are shown in Figures9 10 11 and 12

Obviously the PPSE values of each measuring pointconsist of sequential 21 entropy values Hence the 21 PPSE

32 SVM Multiclass Classification Method Rotor vibrationfault diagnosis is a multiclass signal process problem inpractice and requires establishing a multiclass SVM classifierThe construction methods of multiclass classifier containone-against-all (1-a-a) method one-to-one (1-a-1) methodDirected a-Cyclic Graph SVM (DAGSVM) method globaloptimization classification method and so forth [13 14 18]In this paper the 1-a-a method was used to design SVMmulticlassifier A set of training samples is assumed as

119879 = (119909119894 119910119894) (119909

119897 119910119897) isin (119883 times 119884)

119897 (11)

where 119909119894isin 119883 isin R119899 and 119910

119894isin 119884 = (1 119872) 119894 = 1 2 119897

A discrimination function119891(119909) is searched inR119899 to makeeach input value 119909 have one corresponding output value 119910 Infact the essence of multiclass classification is how to find outone reasonable rule to divide all points inR119899 into119872 portionsThe SVM analytical procedure of multiclass classificationproblem based on the 1-a-1 method is drawn as follows

(1) Take the 119895th class as the positive class and the rest119872minus 1 classes as the negative class according to SVMtheory the decision functions of the 119895th class aredetermined by

119891119895(119909) = sgn (119892119895 (119909)) (12)

where 119892119895(119909) = sum119897119894=1119910119894119886119895

119894119870(119909 119909

119895) + 119887119895 119895 = 1 119872

(2) Judge the input 119909 belonging to the 119895th class where 119895is the maximum label in 1198921(119909) 119892119872(119909)

In light of the above steps a multiclass classifier ofsamples based on SVM can be built until the surplus trainingsamples are correctly classified

4 Rotor Simulation Experiment

41 Select Typical Faults Rotor imbalance shaft misalign-ment rubbing and pedestal looseness are four typical rotorvibration faults Rotor imbalance is often induced by unrea-sonable design manufacturing and fixing error attrition andso forth and involves rotormass imbalance rotor initial bend

andunbalanced coupling primarily Shaftmisalignment com-prises the misalignment of coupling and the misalignmentof bearings Contact rubbing constantly occurs due to thereduction of dynamic-static gap imbalance misalignmentand hot bend Pedestal looseness is often caused by bad fixingand long-term vibration In this paper we select the fourtypical faults to study the rotor vibration fault diagnosis basedon PPSE-SVMmethod

42 Simulation Experiment

421 Test Rig To obtain fault data rotor test rig as shownin Figure 2 is used to simulate four typical faults The rotorsimulation system includes test bench and measurementsystem On the test bench double rotor is opted and linkedby a flexible coupling Each rotor has one disk with equallydistributed holes Four acceleration sensors are installed onthe locations A B C and D of pedestal as shown in Figure 2One speed sensor is applied to measure rotor speed Thedouble rotor is driven by a motor On point D there isa bolt to simulate the rub-impact fault of rotor The mea-surement system consists of signal acquisition instrumentsignal amplifier speed controller velocity indicator andcomputer Signal acquisition instrument is used to collectthe vibration signals of acceleration and speed sensors Inaddition due to the poor quality of sensor and measuringinstrument as well as the influence of imbalance inher-ently resonance and other signals maybe existent in rotorvibration signals hained from rotor experiment Howeverthe condition hardly influence the analytical results in thispaper because the propose method (PPSE-SVM method)is to be more effective in pure fault diagnosis of rotorvibration if the method holds acceptable diagnostic precisionin the coupling fault diagnosis of rotor vibration meanwhilethe case seems to more reasonably simulate the real rotorsystem

422 Experimental Process To study the process charac-teristics of rotor vibration four kinds of typical faults(rotor imbalance shaftmisalignment pedestal looseness andrubbing) are simulated from 0 rpm to 3000 rpm on rotorvibration simulation test bench Each fault is simulated bymultiple accelerated experiments and fault data is extractedby the interval of 100 rpm sampling speed In measurementsystem four sensors (four vibration signal channels) are fixedon rotor test rig tomeasure four-point vibration accelerationsand these signals are gathered as original data of rotorvibration fault diagnosis In this process mass block is addedin the holes of disk to simulate rotor imbalance fault the shaftaxes of two rotors (S1 and S2) are not located on the sameline to simulate the shaft misalignment of rotor system Thelooseness of one (B1) or two bolts (B1 and B2) on pedestal isused to simulate the pedestal looseness fault of rotor systemThe condition of bolt contacted rotor shaft is regarded toimitate rotor rubbing fault

423 Original Data By the simulation experiment a massof original vibration signals for each typical fault is gathered

Figure 2 Rotor vibration simulation test bench and its measure-ment system

when rotor speed is from 0 to 3000 rpm with 100 rpmsampling interval One group of vibration signals has 30groups of vibration waveform under one measuring pointand different speeds Therefore in one process of speed-upor speed-down experiment 120 groups of vibration signalwaveforms for each failure modes may be collected whichreflect the process characteristics of rotor vibration faults Forpoint B three-dimensional (3-D) frequency spectrographs ofnormal state and four faults are shown in Figures 3 4 5 6and 7

43 Data Analysis From Figures 3sim7 the main feature ofrotor fault distributes in the rotate speed range (1000 rpm3000 rpm) with 100 rpm sampling interval We select thespeed band to study the proposed method (PPSE-SVMmethod) One group of vibration signals has 21 groups ofvibration waveform under one measuring point and differentspeeds Therefore in one process of speed-up or speed-down experiment 84 groups of vibration signal waveformsfor each failure modes may be collected which reflect theprocess characteristics of rotor vibration faults The speed-up (or -down) process of rotor is constituted of a numberof states Vibration shapes are different under disparaterotational speeds In fact the vibration waveforms recordthe full information of rotor vibration states under differentspeeds and time The vibration fault feature possesses somedispersiveness and randomness at each point however thevibration fault feature in rotor vibration process is regularInformation entropy matrix integrates information entropyvalues under multispeed and multichannel which reflectsthe process regularity of vibration signals Therefore theinformation entropy matrix may be employed to describethe process regularity of rotor vibration signal The originaldata which reflects the process characteristics of each faultcan be gained on rotor vibration simulation experimentAccording to PPSE method the PPSE values of vibrationwaveform signals may be calculated For one vibration faultPPSE values which fully describe the process features ofthis vibration fault under multichannel and multispeed arepromising to be obtained for constructing one PPSE matrixwhich is regarded as the fault diagnosis samples of SVMmodel

51 Establish PPSE-SVMModel Thebasic idea of rotor vibra-tion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method is drawnas follows (1) gather the rotor vibration data of four typicalfaults based on rotor vibration fault simulation experiment(2) extract the vibration data characteristics (PPSE values) offour faults based on PPSE method as the training and testingsamples of SVM fault diagnosis model (3) establish SVMfault diagnosismodel by the training samples and accomplishthe rotor vibration fault diagnosis by distinguishing fault cat-egory discriminating failure severity judging fault locationand validating the robustness of PPSE-SVM method Theabove process is named fusion fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVM method The detailed analytical procedure is shown inFigure 8

52 PPSE Feature Extraction and Parameter Selection ThePPSE values of vibration fault which reflect the process ofspeed-up or speed-down are gained based on PPSE methodandMatlab simulation software From four measuring pointsin the rotor simulation experiments four groups of PPSEsare integrated to present the variation of rotor vibrationcondition in speed-up process Each group of PPSE values ofeach channel is made up of twenty-one information entropyvalues which reflect the process variation of vibration signalat the corresponding measuring point during speed-up AllPPSE values of each vibration fault may constitute one PPSEmatrix (or PSE matrix) which is indicated by using PPSEvalues rotate speed and measuring point (channel) ThePPSE matrixes of four vibration faults are shown in Figures9 10 11 and 12

Obviously the PPSE values of each measuring pointconsist of sequential 21 entropy values Hence the 21 PPSE

andunbalanced coupling primarily Shaftmisalignment com-prises the misalignment of coupling and the misalignmentof bearings Contact rubbing constantly occurs due to thereduction of dynamic-static gap imbalance misalignmentand hot bend Pedestal looseness is often caused by bad fixingand long-term vibration In this paper we select the fourtypical faults to study the rotor vibration fault diagnosis basedon PPSE-SVMmethod

42 Simulation Experiment

421 Test Rig To obtain fault data rotor test rig as shownin Figure 2 is used to simulate four typical faults The rotorsimulation system includes test bench and measurementsystem On the test bench double rotor is opted and linkedby a flexible coupling Each rotor has one disk with equallydistributed holes Four acceleration sensors are installed onthe locations A B C and D of pedestal as shown in Figure 2One speed sensor is applied to measure rotor speed Thedouble rotor is driven by a motor On point D there isa bolt to simulate the rub-impact fault of rotor The mea-surement system consists of signal acquisition instrumentsignal amplifier speed controller velocity indicator andcomputer Signal acquisition instrument is used to collectthe vibration signals of acceleration and speed sensors Inaddition due to the poor quality of sensor and measuringinstrument as well as the influence of imbalance inher-ently resonance and other signals maybe existent in rotorvibration signals hained from rotor experiment Howeverthe condition hardly influence the analytical results in thispaper because the propose method (PPSE-SVM method)is to be more effective in pure fault diagnosis of rotorvibration if the method holds acceptable diagnostic precisionin the coupling fault diagnosis of rotor vibration meanwhilethe case seems to more reasonably simulate the real rotorsystem

422 Experimental Process To study the process charac-teristics of rotor vibration four kinds of typical faults(rotor imbalance shaftmisalignment pedestal looseness andrubbing) are simulated from 0 rpm to 3000 rpm on rotorvibration simulation test bench Each fault is simulated bymultiple accelerated experiments and fault data is extractedby the interval of 100 rpm sampling speed In measurementsystem four sensors (four vibration signal channels) are fixedon rotor test rig tomeasure four-point vibration accelerationsand these signals are gathered as original data of rotorvibration fault diagnosis In this process mass block is addedin the holes of disk to simulate rotor imbalance fault the shaftaxes of two rotors (S1 and S2) are not located on the sameline to simulate the shaft misalignment of rotor system Thelooseness of one (B1) or two bolts (B1 and B2) on pedestal isused to simulate the pedestal looseness fault of rotor systemThe condition of bolt contacted rotor shaft is regarded toimitate rotor rubbing fault

423 Original Data By the simulation experiment a massof original vibration signals for each typical fault is gathered

Figure 2 Rotor vibration simulation test bench and its measure-ment system

when rotor speed is from 0 to 3000 rpm with 100 rpmsampling interval One group of vibration signals has 30groups of vibration waveform under one measuring pointand different speeds Therefore in one process of speed-upor speed-down experiment 120 groups of vibration signalwaveforms for each failure modes may be collected whichreflect the process characteristics of rotor vibration faults Forpoint B three-dimensional (3-D) frequency spectrographs ofnormal state and four faults are shown in Figures 3 4 5 6and 7

43 Data Analysis From Figures 3sim7 the main feature ofrotor fault distributes in the rotate speed range (1000 rpm3000 rpm) with 100 rpm sampling interval We select thespeed band to study the proposed method (PPSE-SVMmethod) One group of vibration signals has 21 groups ofvibration waveform under one measuring point and differentspeeds Therefore in one process of speed-up or speed-down experiment 84 groups of vibration signal waveformsfor each failure modes may be collected which reflect theprocess characteristics of rotor vibration faults The speed-up (or -down) process of rotor is constituted of a numberof states Vibration shapes are different under disparaterotational speeds In fact the vibration waveforms recordthe full information of rotor vibration states under differentspeeds and time The vibration fault feature possesses somedispersiveness and randomness at each point however thevibration fault feature in rotor vibration process is regularInformation entropy matrix integrates information entropyvalues under multispeed and multichannel which reflectsthe process regularity of vibration signals Therefore theinformation entropy matrix may be employed to describethe process regularity of rotor vibration signal The originaldata which reflects the process characteristics of each faultcan be gained on rotor vibration simulation experimentAccording to PPSE method the PPSE values of vibrationwaveform signals may be calculated For one vibration faultPPSE values which fully describe the process features ofthis vibration fault under multichannel and multispeed arepromising to be obtained for constructing one PPSE matrixwhich is regarded as the fault diagnosis samples of SVMmodel

To validate the learning ability and generalization abilityof SVM model the training samples of four faults wereinput into the SVM diagnosis model The result shows thatthese training samples are able to be completely correctlyclassified and the testing precision is 100 And then basedon the trained SVM model the remnant 30 samples of eachvibration fault mode are classified and the results are shownin Table 3

6 Conclusion

Theobjective of these efforts is attempted to advance a processfault diagnosis methodmdashProcess Power Spectrum Entropyand Support Vector Machine (PPSE-SVM) methodmdashby fus-ing the advantages of information entropy method and SVMtheory for rotor vibration fault diagnosis from a processperspective based on information fusion techniqueThroughrotor vibration fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVMmethodsome conclusions are drawn as follows

(1) The Process Power Spectrum Entropy (PPSE) valuescan effectively reflect the process variation of rotorvibration signals

(2) PPSE-SVM model can be established by small sam-ples PPSE feature vectors extracted from the faultvibration data of rotor fault vibration simulationexperiments

(3) The PPSE-SVM model trained by PPSE feature vec-tors is demonstrated to be an efficient fault diagnosismodel which possesses strong learning ability gen-eralization ability and fault tolerance ability becauseof high testing precision (100) high diagnosis pre-cision (resp 09667 095 and 09333) and strong

antinoise interference ability (09433 in precision)in the rotor vibration fault diagnosis and analysison fault category failure severity fault points androbustness from a process perspective

(4) The presented PPSE-SVM method is also proved tobe effective and reasonable and this study providesa promising diagnosis technology for rotor vibrationfault

(5) Some idealized factors were considered for rotorvibration fault diagnosis based on the PPSE-SVMmethod on rotor vibration simulation test bench inthis paper For complex machinery like an aero-engine the validity of the presented PPSE-SVMmethod needs to be further verified in vibration faultdiagnosis

a similar way the PPSE values of these data were calculatedbased on PPSE-SVM method and 40 groups of fault data ofeach measuring point were taken as samples vectors where10 fault data were taken as training samples and the rest of 30fault data were looked at as test samples for each measuringpoint Through rotor vibration fault point diagnosis theresults show that the testing accuracy is 100 and the averagediagnosis precision is 9333 which is shown in Table 5 Itis indicated that the PPSE-SVM diagnosis method is feasibleand effective in rotor vibration fault point diagnosis

56 Robustness Verification To validate the robustness ofPPSE-SVMmethod in rotor vibration fault diagnoses includ-ing judgments of fault category severity and location theoriginal signals of the aforementioned test samples of threefault types were overlapped by Gaussian white noise withmean value 0 and variance 5 And then the PPSE valuesof these original signals of vibration fault were gained asnew test samples based on PPSE method Ultimately thesenew test samples of three fault types were inputted in

As shown in Table 6 after overlapping Gaussian noiseon the original vibration signals of test samples the diag-nosis precisions of three fault types (category severity andlocation) are 09583 09333 and 09333 respectively andonly reduce by 00083 00167 and 0 relative to those beforesuperposition severally so that the mean precision of rotorvibration fault diagnosis comes to 09433 The results revealthat the proposed PPSE-SVMmethod has good fault-tolerantcapability and strong robustness in antinoise interference

6 Conclusion

Theobjective of these efforts is attempted to advance a processfault diagnosis methodmdashProcess Power Spectrum Entropyand Support Vector Machine (PPSE-SVM) methodmdashby fus-ing the advantages of information entropy method and SVMtheory for rotor vibration fault diagnosis from a processperspective based on information fusion techniqueThroughrotor vibration fault diagnosis based on PPSE-SVMmethodsome conclusions are drawn as follows

(1) The Process Power Spectrum Entropy (PPSE) valuescan effectively reflect the process variation of rotorvibration signals

(2) PPSE-SVM model can be established by small sam-ples PPSE feature vectors extracted from the faultvibration data of rotor fault vibration simulationexperiments

(3) The PPSE-SVM model trained by PPSE feature vec-tors is demonstrated to be an efficient fault diagnosismodel which possesses strong learning ability gen-eralization ability and fault tolerance ability becauseof high testing precision (100) high diagnosis pre-cision (resp 09667 095 and 09333) and strong

antinoise interference ability (09433 in precision)in the rotor vibration fault diagnosis and analysison fault category failure severity fault points androbustness from a process perspective

(4) The presented PPSE-SVM method is also proved tobe effective and reasonable and this study providesa promising diagnosis technology for rotor vibrationfault

(5) Some idealized factors were considered for rotorvibration fault diagnosis based on the PPSE-SVMmethod on rotor vibration simulation test bench inthis paper For complex machinery like an aero-engine the validity of the presented PPSE-SVMmethod needs to be further verified in vibration faultdiagnosis
